Eritine

Chapter 4

Valentine's POV

I entered a cafe next to the junkyard because I am attracted to dirt. I entered and ordered a caviar but they didn't have it so I ordered a big mac and a milk shake. Before the food come, the waiter kept some empty plated before me on which he would probably serve. As soon as the waiter left, my eyes fell upon the plate and my heart leaped. The plate was magnificent! I kept looking at it and I felt that I was in love with the shine of this plate. Whoever washed it did his or her work with full compassion. I call out to the manager and say, "Who is the dishwasher of this cafe?"

"Sir,there are many of them. May I know what you need?"he says.

"I need to meet the person who has washed this plate." I say pointing towards the plate I fell in love with.

"Well, that shine can come only in Eric's work, sir. I may send him to you." The manger says and makes his way back to the staff room.

Manager's POV 

I was lost in the thoughts of ducks swimming in the pond when a man called out to me. I went towards his table.

When I reach his table, he asked me who the dishwasher of this cafe was.

I am pretty sure then that he had come running from a mental asylum. What does he have to do with  a dishwasher?!

If I didn't serve his needs then he might start yelling and my cafe's reputation will go down. So I gently tell him, "Sir, there are many of them. May I know what you need?"

Then he said, pointing towards a plate, "I want to meet the person who has washed this plate."

His insanity was going at the highest levels. I didn't know who had washed the plate and why would I? So not to make him angry, I randomly take Eric's name as his is the only one I remember and go back to the staff room.

I tell Eric to meet the customer at table 46 and to my surprise he does so as he never leaves unwashed dished since he is dedicated towards his job too much.

I go back to my corner and continue to think about beautiful ducks.
